Bella Kitchen & Home staff members didn’t expect to win any awards, at least not so soon. The store at the Uptown Gig Harbor Shopping Center has only been open for 2 1/2 years, but it already has received a major honor with its recent first-place finish in the Best Housewares category of KING-5 TV’s annual “Best of Western Washington” contest. Owner Terese Garrett-Miller couldn’t believe her store was in the running, let alone that it could win.
